WOODS and JOSEPH WILFRED HARRIS,

Defendants. /

ORDER1

Albert Robinson, proceeding pro se, has filed a Motion for this Court to Either Hold Roger D. Eaton2 in Contempt of Court or Order Roger D. Eaton to Forthwith Transfer the 14-000601-CC Case to Circuit Court as the Previous Order Commanded (Doc. 38). He requests that the Court order the state court

Correspondingly, the state-court docket reflects the receipt of the certified remand order on July 13, 2015. The Court was divested of jurisdiction by the time the Clerk mailed the certified remand order. E.g., Shapiro v. Logistec USA, Inc., 412 F. 3d 307, 312 (2d Cir. 2005) (“Section 1447(d) establishes that once a section 1447(c) remand order has been mailed to the state court pursuant to the latter section, federal jurisdiction is at an end.”). Any request to transfer the case from county to circuit court would need to be raised in the state court.

Accordingly, it is now ORDERED: Albert Robinson, proceeding pro se, filed a Motion for this Court to Either Hold Roger D. Eaton in Contempt of Court or Order Roger D. Eaton to

Forthwith Transfer the 14-000601-CC Case to Circuit Court as the Previous Order Commanded (Doc. 38) is DENIED. DONE and ORDERED in Fort Myers, Florida on September 22, 2021.

He argues (again) that this case was never remanded to state court because the Clerk did not mail the remand order to the state-court clerk as required by 28 U.S.C. § 1447(c). The Court rejected this argument five months ago (Doc. 28) and rejects it again for the same reasons. As the docket shows, the Clerk mailed certified copies to the Charlotte County Clerk on July 9, 2015.
